Tillamock answer

[Guest guest]

Chris, do not think for one moment this subject is closed. The Monsanto

people will put more pressure, shoot they might even try to steal the Tillamok

name. They have taken and patented Iraqi seed, and they can not plant their

own seed that they have planted for generations. The Iraqi people can only

plant Genetically Modified seed also. Tell me that is freedom. With this gang

in this white house it is all about taking our freedom and at the same time

telling us and the world we are free. Remember we are not expected to use our

brains and see what is going on. They do not even do it so much in secret, it

is really right out there, people just are not absorbing it. sharon

IAHF List: Below my comments you will find two news articles about recent

dastardly doin's down under where the Australian TGA (their FDA) is once again

running amok against Australian dietary supplement consumers. Americans and

consumers world wide must pay close attention to understand the sick tactics

being

arrayed against us as we fight this global war for health freedom.

 

The first article is from ABC News in Australia, the second article is from

the American Herbal Products Assn.

 

Both articles should be viewed in the context of THIS article about the

fraudulent " Pan Recall " in Australia which provided the SPIN which pushed this

recent regulatory hurdle raising against us.

http://www.middlepath.com.au/foh/joevialls.php Via the Pan Recall, the TGA

attacked Australia's largest

manufacturer of dietary supplements and under false pretenses yanked thousands

of

products from the shelves to create a media circus against the natural products

industry. Vialls article cuts through the spin, showing what REALLY happened.

 

As Australia moves to " tighten up " regulations against dietary supplements

even MORE than they already have, consumers in neighboring New Zealand are

redoubling their dogged efforts to block their Parliament from ratifying a

horrible

treaty with Australia that was illegally signed by their health minister

totally against the wishes of the New Zealand people. The treaty threatens to

harmonize New Zealand's liberal food based supplement regs to Australias

horrible,

pharmaceuticalized regs. Undoubtedly, the recent spin in the Australian press

will make life more difficult for the health freedom fighters in New Zealand.

 

As this New Zealand battle rages http://www.nzhealthtrust.co.nz a parallel

battle rages in Canada where Bill C-420 ( " The Foods are Not Drugs Act " ) just

made it through a second reading of the Canadian Parliament. It must now go to

the House and must survive a third reading, but Canadians are doing the right

thing by trying to undo the illegal harmonization to Australian law which has

taken them in the wrong direction.

 

Unfortunately, Codex meanwhile looms over all these proceedings like a Ten

Thousand Pound Guerrilla- see EMERGENCY UPDATE FROM THE HEALTH FREEDOM FRONT

What to Do: IAHF is going to Expo West vitamin trade show next week to hold

an emergency meeting with innovative manufacturers. Your donations can help us

with expenses related to this meeting. We will expose how the pharma dominated

vitamin trade associations are leading the industry to a largely unseen

to

fight back, and a growing number of companies are awakening to reality. With

your assistance, I can do more public speaking on this issue world wide.

Alternative medicine rules tightened. 10/03/2005. ABC News Online

[This is the print version of story

http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200503/s1319924.htm]

 

Last Update: Thursday, March 10, 2005. 11:27am (AEDT)

 

 

Alternative medicine rules tightened

 

The Federal Government has announced a major overhaul of the regulations

governing the $800 million a year alternative medicine industry.

 

The mass recall of complementary medicines by Pan Pharmaceuticals in 2003

sparked an expert review of the sector.

 

It found many potentially toxic herbal ingredients sold in Australia have not

been subject to detailed study.

 

The Government has now responded to the findings, saying its changes should

help restore confidence in the sector.

 

It plans to crack down on claims of the alleged benefits of alternative

medicines; new guidelines will be closely monitored by the Therapeutic Goods

Administration (TGA).

 

There will be increased penalties for those refusing to provide the TGA with

information to back their claims.

 

There will also be further reviews of homeopathic and herbal medicines, raw

herbs and other ingredients used in medicinal compounds.

 

The Australian Self-Medication Industry has welcomed the overhaul.

 

The organisation's scientific director, Dr Deon Schoombie, says the changes

will be far reaching and positive.

 

" I think it will certainly go a long way in securing the rightful place of

complementary medicines in Australia, " Dr Schoombie said.

 

" Many Australians use it and I think it's important that they have the

confidence these products are of a high quality and are safe to use. "

 

Dr Schoombie says it is unlikely any medicines will have to be reformulated

or relabelled

 

" I think there will be changes because it will raise the standards, " Dr

Schoombie said.

 

" But I don't think it will have a huge negative impact on manufacturers and

sponsors but there may be some who will be affected by it. "

 

 

AHPA Update • March 10, 2005

 

 

Australia raises regulatory bar on herbal products

 

The Australian government announced yesterday that the Therapeutic Goods

Administration (TGA) will demand a “much more rigorous assessment†of all

herbal

and homeopathic ingredients used in complementary medicines.

 

The announcement was part of the government's response to recommendations

from an Expert Committee on Complementary Medicines in the Health System. That

committee was formed in the aftermath of an April 2003 recall of more than 1,600

medicines (including products regulated as dietary supplements in the United

States) manufactured by Pan Pharmaceuticals. The committee assessed the

regulatory, health system, and industry structures for complementary medicines

in

Australia, and published its report 18 months ago (see

http://www.tga.gov.au/docs/pdf/cmreport.pdf).

 

The government accepted nearly all of the committee's 49 recommendations,

expanding upon each in its response document. They include reviewing homeopathic

and herbal medicines, raw herbs and other ingredients, and implementing new

guidelines to verify claims. Further, quality standards for all ingredients used

in complementary medicines will be enforced, and any ingredients suspected of

causing fetal abnormalities will be banned from use other than in

complementary products subject to the same scrutiny as that given to

prescription drugs.

 

The government is to establish a database to identify researchers and centers

of excellence on complementary medicines, and take more action to ensure

consumers get reliable product information.

 

The TGA posted the full response document on its website at
